Dental cavities are one of the most common dental problems faced by patients. At Advanced Dentistry , we have the experience and technology to provide effective and thorough treatment for cavities, helping you maintain a healthy smile.
Cavity Therapy
Brief
Dental cavities are holes or small cavities in teeth caused by bacteria, poor oral hygiene, and sugar consumption. They are a common dental problem that, if untreated, can lead to pain, infections, and even tooth loss.
At Advanced Dentistry, cavity treatment can be done through various methods, depending on the stage and severity:
- Dental Fillings: where the damaged part is removed and replaced with a filling material.
- Dental Crowns: for cavities that have destroyed a large part of the tooth.
- Root Canal Treatment: in cases where the cavity has reached the nerve, involving the removal of the nerve and filling the canal.
The clinic focuses not only on treating cavities but also on educating patients about preventing them through proper oral hygiene, healthy eating, and regular visits to the dentist. Their team is prepared to help patients maintain their beautiful and healthy smiles.

How are dental cavities treated?
Treatment for cavities depends on their severity and stage. At Advanced Dentistry , we offer several treatment options for cavities, including:
- Dental Fillings: This is the most common form of treatment for cavities. The dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth and replaces it with a filling material, such as composite.
- Dental Crowns: If a cavity has destroyed a large part of the tooth, a dental crown may be necessary. Crowns are custom-made “caps” placed over the cleaned and prepared tooth.
- Root Canal Treatment: In cases where the cavity has reached the tooth's nerve, a root canal treatment may be necessary. This process involves removing the nerve and pulp of the tooth, cleaning the canal, and filling it with a safe material.

At Advanced Dentistry, we strive not only to treat cavities but also to educate patients about the importance of preventing them. By maintaining good oral hygiene , eating healthily, and making regular visits to the dentist, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing cavities.
